Return of the Wilderness to the UK?

[NorthernRaider]

I guessitmate the reclaiming of the land by nature will probably be very prominent between three and five years, and it will be detectable spreading out first and fastest in the more lush and wet SW & Wales followed by the SE and Midlands. its already been documented even up around this area that when a new roundabout or by pass road goes in and the old single land road is closed off and abandoned the old road surface will see ground cover plants meeting in the middle often within 2 years.

In more lush areas such as the SW the local authorities in some areas have to prune hedgerows back every other year and the same for some trees growing over single land roads.

Ten years should see many roads and paths completely vanish, many canals and small slow moving streams disappear under duckweed within 5 years, add falling trees, blocked drains causing land slips etc who knows how fast the reclaiming will take.

It WILL drive survivors in time back onto using navigable rivers and old rail lines as the new highways.
